Precise
estimates for the undocumented population in DeKalb County Georgia,
for 2026 are not yet available from official government sources like
the U.S. Census Bureau, as they typically do not track legal status directly.
However, recent 2025-2026 reports provide the following data on the county's
immigrant and unauthorized populations:
County-Level Immigrant Population: Approximately 18% (roughly 137,000–140,000) of DeKalb County's 765,000 residents are foreign-born.
State-Level Estimates: As of late 2025, the total unauthorized population in Georgia is estimated at nearly 500,000, making it the sixth-largest in the nation.
Historical Trends: While specific 2026 figures for DeKalb are pending, historical data from organizations like the Migration Policy Institute have previously estimated the unauthorized population in neighboring large counties (like Cobb) at around 55,000; DeKalb, with its high diversity and foreign-born density, is often cited as a primary hub for these communities in Metro Atlanta.
Recent Enforcement: In May 2025, multi-agency operations in DeKalb County resulted in the detainment of 19 undocumented immigrants during traffic enforcement.
